I had a friend once
who told me...

:49:14
that the worst mistake
that you could make...

:49:16
is to think
that you are alive...

:49:22
when really you’re asleep
in life's waiting room.

:49:34
The trick is to combine...
:49:38
your waking
rational abilities...

:49:41
with the infinite
possibilities of your dreams.

:49:45
'Cause if you can do that,
you can do anything.

:49:50
Did you ever have a job that
you hated and worked real hard at?

:49:53
A long, hard day of work.
Finally you get to go home,
get in bed, close your eyes.

:49:59
And immediately
you wake up and realize...

:50:01
that the whole day at work
had been a dream.

:50:10
It's bad enough that you sell your
waking life for-- for minimum wage,

:50:16
but now they get
your dreams for free.

:50:21
Hey, man,
what are you doing here?

:50:23
I fancy myself the social lubricator
of the dream world,

:50:28
helping people become lucid
a little easier.

:50:31
Cut out all that fear and anxiety
stuff and just rock and roll.

:50:35
By becoming lucid, you mean just knowing
that you’re dreaming, right?

:50:38
Yeah. And then
you can control it.

:50:40
They're more realistic and less
bizarre than non-lucid dreams.

:50:43
You know,
I just woke from a dream.

:50:47
It wasn't like a typical dream.
It seemed more like I'd walked
into an alternate universe.

:50:50
Yeah, it's real.
:50:52
I mean, technically,
it's a phenomenon of sleep,

:50:55
but you can have
so much damn fun in your dreams.

:50:58
And, of course,
everyone knows fun rules.
